Amen, sister! I'm still a Neville/Luna shipper at heart.

As for Dumbledore...Wow. I'm shocked, but I guess, when you look at it...you can see it. It does make sense. Plus, it kind of takes away the stereotype of what people would expect a homosexual man to be and act like. It also shows that there is more to a person than just that. While it is a big part of who you are, it isn't everything. Clearly, it wasn't the most interesting thing about Dumbledore. I think that's an important thing to remember.

I think that it's interesting that she decided to make him gay, and address it at such a big event because of all of the criticism. But whether you agree or disagree with her, it does go into the books as a moral issue...intolerance. I totally say good for her for sticking true to her character. I really hope she didn't do so just to make some sort of statement. I hope that it really was true to the character. (But, knowing Jo, I'm sure it was!)

I think some of the new questions were good...like the question about Harry being stabbed by a Basilisk fang in CoS and not being destroyed like any other Horcrux. These fans are smart and very astute. I hope some really grilled her for unaddressed issues.

I still want it to be established whether Ron was an Auror...or worked with George in Weasley's Wizarding Wheezes...or did both. *sigh*

Can't wait for the rest!
